Xavi Hernandez He spoke as soon as Barça-Sevilla finished in Movistar LaLiga. Then he also did it in the press room. These were the manifestations of him.
Is it the goal you have celebrated the most?
I do not know. It is that he did not want to enter the ball. We missed the last pass. They defend the area wonderfully. They sank with Gudelj and the two center backs and the solution was the back pass. I think the result is short. We have been better than a super team, especially defensively. We won against a direct rival. We have almost won a game of six points. We leave satisfied. I think we are almost at the best moment of the season and we have to take advantage of it.
What do you say about Pedri’s goal?
I already said that he is a superlative player. He marks differences, also in the goal. We encourage him to shoot and, in space-time, he is a superlative player. He doesn’t surprise me. He handles both legs. He is a player that has no comparison
Is Pedri the leader of Barça?
There are many types of leadership. There is the coach. And then there are the captains, Ter Stegen, Pedri who is a leader on the pitch. But the leadership he has on the field is extraordinary.
Is it possible to think of setbacks for Madrid?
Well I do not know. Yesterday they got three points and for us today was a final. We will continue until the math tells us no.
Do you think they’ve sent a message?
We do not send any messages to anyone. We send it to ourselves. We are fine. And people are helping us a lot. There is harmony and we have to take advantage of it. We have put ourselves second and as long as mathematics does not say otherwise, we will try.
